countries is purchasing YouTube Premium via VPN the cheapest?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, purchasing YouTube Premium via VPN does not work in all countries. Until a few weeks ago, it was possible to easily get very affordable YouTube subscriptions in countries like <strong>Ghana<\/strong>, <strong>Ukraine<\/strong>, or <strong>Pakistan<\/strong>, costing between $1.56 and $3. However, not all payment methods are accepted in these countries anymore. Some credit cards work, while others don&#8217;t. It&#8217;s definitely worth a try, though!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Anyone who wants to avoid the hassle (VPN, etc.)<\/strong> can upgrade their existing YouTube account to Premium through GamsGo (single licenses only). Starting at $4.45\/month (\u20ac3.80) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rh-itsec.com\/blog\/youtube-premium-cheap-via-vpn\/#Alternative_Upgrade_Your_Existing_YouTube_Account_to_Premium_with_GamsGo\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.rh-itsec.com\/blog\/youtube-premium-cheap-via-vpn\/#Alternative_Buy_a_Cheap_YouTube_Premium_Account\"><strong>Here&#8217;s how \u2193<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For <strong>Apple users<\/strong>, there is still an easy way to subscribe to YouTube at a <strong>very low cost<\/strong>. Through the Turkish App Store (without VPN), you can get the individual subscription for just $2.20 and the family subscription for $4.40 (<a href=\"#Guide_Subscribe_to_YouTube_Premium_at_a_Lower_Cost_via_the_App_Store_Turkey\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#Guide_Subscribe_to_YouTube_Premium_at_a_Lower_Cost_via_the_App_Store_Turkey\"><strong>Here&#8217;s how \u2193<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All other users need to switch to countries like <strong>Peru<\/strong> or <strong>Romania<\/strong>. All payment methods are accepted there, and over the course of a year, you can still save more than $100 compared to YouTube USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script src=\"https:\/\/www.dwin2.com\/pub.400573.min.js\"><\/script><style>\n#content a.pages {\n  text-decoration: none;\n  display: inline-block;\n  padding: 9px 9px 9px 39px;\n  margin-top: 10px;\n  font-weight: 700;\n  border-radius: 4px;\n  background-image: url(https:\/\/www.rh-itsec.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/cart1.png);\n  background-position: left;\n  background-repeat: no-repeat;\n  background-position: 10px center;\n}\n\n#content a.pages:hover {\n  background-color: #EA1818;\n  color: #FFF;\n  text-decoration: none;\n}\n\n#content .next {\n  background: #3983AB;\n  color: #FFF;\n}\n\n#content a.link {\n  text-decoration: none;\n  display: inline-block;\n  padding: 9px 9px 9px 39px;\n  margin-top: 10px;\n  font-weight: 700;\n  border-radius: 4px;\n  background-image: url(https:\/\/www.rh-itsec.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/link-20.png);\n  background-position: left;\n  background-repeat: no-repeat;\n  background-position: 10px center;\n}\n\n#content a.link:hover {\n  background-color: #EA1818;\n  color: #FFF;\n  text-decoration: none;\n}\n\n.big {\n  font-size: 130%;\n}\n\n#container .rabatt {\n  color: #23a331;\n  font-weight: 700;\n}\n\n.container1 {\n  display: flex;\n  margin: 10px 0 30px 0;\n}\n\nul.aufzaehlung1 li {\n  margin-bottom: 10px;\n}\n\ntable.ergebnis td,\ntable.ergebnis th {\n  border: 1px solid #DDD;\n  border-collapse: collapse;\n  padding: 10px 7px;\n}\n\n#page .button {\n  background-color: #EB443F; \/* red *\/\n  border: none;\n  color: white;\n  padding: 10px 22px;\n  text-align: center;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  display: inline-block;\n  font-size: 16px;\n  background-image: none;\n  border-radius: 5px;\n  font-weight: 700;\n}\n\n.bestenliste tr:hover {\n  background-color: #F1F5F9;\n}\n\n.linkable-column {\n  cursor: pointer;\n}\n\n@media screen and (max-width: 450px) {\n  .mobile-device {\n    font-size: 95%;\n  }\n  .mobile-device1 {\n    font-size: 80%;\n  }\n}\n  @media (max-width: 599px) {\n   .mobile-hide {\n   display: none;\n   }\n   }\n   @media (min-width: 600px) {\n   .mobile-show {\n   display: none;\n   }\n   }\n<\/style><div class=\"table-scrollable mobile-device\">\n  <table class=\"ergebnis\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n    <thead>\n      <tr>\n        <th rowspan=\"2\" colspan=\"2\" style=\"text-align:center\">Country<\/th>\n        <th colspan=\"2\" style=\"text-align:center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rh-itsec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/youtube-premium-logo.png\" alt=\"YouTube Premium Logo\" class=\"wp-image-185\"\/><br \/>Subscription Prices<\/th>\n        <th class=\"mobile-hide\" rowspan=\"2\" colspan=\"2\" style=\"text-align:center\">Subscription Purchase via VPN possible?

Technically, using a VPN violates these rules, but using a VPN is legal in most countries (including USA), and enforcing a ban would be difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using VPNs to exploit geographical price differences on YouTube operates in a legal gray area. It is not illegal under criminal law. Theoretically, violating the terms of service could result in an account suspension. However, no such case is known, and the VPN trick has been used by many users for years. There is hardly a week when the trick is not featured in some magazine or on some deal site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Guide_Subscribe_to_YouTube_Premium_at_a_Lower_Cost_via_VPN_Ghana_Pakistan_Peru_Romania_Bulgaria_Poland\"><\/span><strong>Guide:<\/strong> Subscribe to YouTube Premium at a Lower Cost via VPN (Ghana, Pakistan, Peru, Romania, Bulgaria, Poland)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Purchasing YouTube Premium via VPN is simple.

After subscribing to YouTube Premium, you can sign back in with your regular Apple ID. Nothing will be lost (settings, apps, subscriptions, etc.)! Everything remains as if you never signed out. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only the billing is handled through the new Apple ID. You can still log into your YouTube account from any device as usual using the email address registered with YouTube. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Since Apple handles the billing and this trick has been working smoothly for years, I believe it will continue to work for a long time. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure that your new Apple ID always has sufficient credit (recharge via gift card), otherwise, your YouTube Premium account will not be renewed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a <strong>step-by-step guide<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Create a New Apple ID<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"rahmen\">Create a <a href=\"https:\/\/appleid.apple.com\/account\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/appleid.apple.com\/account\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new Turkish Apple ID on apple.com<\/a>.

YouTube does not currently serve ads in these countries, so you can watch videos without a YouTube Premium subscription. The interface usually remains in your regular language, depending on your browser and account settings, and the available content generally stays the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rh-itsec.com\/external-link\/surfshark\/youtube-premium-vpn\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.rh-itsec.com\/external-link\/surfshark\/youtube-premium-vpn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Surfshark<\/a> is the optimal choice for this.

A good recommendation is <strong>uBlock Origin<\/strong> on Firefox, or <strong>uBlock Origin Lite<\/strong> on Chrome-based browsers. uBlock Origin is widely regarded as an efficient, lightweight content blocker, while uBlock Origin Lite is the newer version designed for Chrome\u2019s current extension system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, ad blockers are not always a reliable long-term solution for YouTube. YouTube and ad-blocking tools are in a constant back-and-forth, which means ad blocking may stop working temporarily from time to time until filter lists or extension updates catch up. For that reason, an ad blocker can be useful, but it should not be seen as a fully dependable method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_Premium_Prices_Worldwide_Individual_License\"><\/span>YouTube Premium Prices Worldwide (Individual License)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are the prices for YouTube Premium worldwide.

Premium Lite focuses on ad-free viewing for most videos on YouTube, but comes with a more limited feature set compared to the standard Premium plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While YouTube Premium Lite was originally much more restricted, it now also includes background playback and downloads to some extent. However, these features do not apply to Shorts or music content. Premium Lite still does not include full access to YouTube Music Premium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes it especially suitable for users who mainly want to watch regular YouTube videos without ads and do not need the full range of Premium features. In terms of pricing, Premium Lite remains noticeably cheaper than the full Premium subscription, making it appealing for casual viewers who do not want to pay for features they rarely or never use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Availability, pricing, and included features may vary depending on the country. In addition, not all content types are guaranteed to be completely ad-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_FAQ\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are YouTube Premium prices different worldwide?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>YouTube Premium prices vary worldwide for several reasons. A key factor is purchasing power. In countries with lower purchasing power and average incomes, YouTube adjusts prices to make its services more affordable. A price considered inexpensive in Germany might be unaffordable for many people in poorer countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, this is also the case with Netflix. See: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rh-itsec.com\/blog\/netflix-cheap-via-vpn\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"113\">Netflix cheaper via VPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens to existing YouTube subscriptions when YouTube takes action to prevent the exploitation of price differences?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If YouTube decides to prevent the exploitation of regional price differences, existing subscriptions are generally unaffected. This was the case in Argentina and India, for example. Users who have already subscribed under more favorable conditions can usually continue to use their subscription. However, it will no longer be possible for new subscribers from other countries to sign up for subscriptions using foreign payment methods, such as a US credit card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Update: <\/em>YouTube now occasionally requires a new payment method to prevent exploitation of price differences: <em>YouTube Premium memberships based in [Country] require a form of payment issued in [Country]. To maintain your membership, please update your form of payment to one issued in [Country] before [Date]. If you do not update your form of payment, your membership will not renew automatically, and you will lose access to your YouTube Premium benefits.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are there free VPNs for subscribing to YouTube Premium abroad?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Free VPNs are often recognized and blocked by YouTube as VPN servers. Another problem with free services is the very limited selection of server locations. Often, only a few countries are available, which significantly restricts flexibility and options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does the error message &#8220;We couldn&#8217;t verify your country&#8221; mean?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The YouTube error message &#8220;We couldn&#8217;t verify your country&#8221; indicates that YouTube is having trouble determining your current location. This often happens when YouTube detects your IP address as being associated with a VPN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disconnect and reconnect the VPN. This will provide you with a new IP address from the VPN provider, which may not be blocked by YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need a credit card to use YouTube Premium?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, if you are using a VPN to subscribe to YouTube Premium, you will need a credit card. If you do not have a credit card, I recommend Revolut. Revolut offers a free card that can be used for online purchases and subscriptions without any fees. Verification usually takes only a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the features of YouTube Premium?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the main features of YouTube Premium:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ad-Free Experience: With YouTube Premium, all videos on YouTube can be watched without ads, both before and during the videos. This is a primary reason many people activate Premium. This also applies to YouTube Music and YouTube Kids.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Background Play: A particularly useful feature for mobile devices. You can listen to videos or music while using other apps or when your device&#8217;s screen is off.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Offline Playback: You can download videos and music to your device and watch or listen offline. This is especially handy when you are in places without an internet connection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enhanced Audio Quality: YouTube Music Premium users benefit from higher audio quality compared to the standard version.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access to YouTube Music Premium: As part of the subscription, you also get access to YouTube Music Premium, which is ad-free and also offers background play and downloads for offline use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In January 2025, YouTube introduced expanded experimental features for Premium subscribers. These include enhanced audio quality with a bitrate of 256 kbps for clearer sound in music videos. The &#8220;Jump Ahead&#8221; feature, which allows users to skip directly to key video segments, is now also available on web browsers. Additionally, the maximum playback speed on mobile devices has been increased to four times the normal speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On iOS, the picture-in-picture feature allows users to watch Shorts while using other apps. Furthermore, Smart Downloads automatically select Shorts for offline use. Conversational AI tools are set to answer questions about videos and suggest related content on iOS without interrupting playback. The music search service &#8220;Ask Music,&#8221; which enables the creation of personalized radio stations, is being made accessible to more users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does YouTube Premium cost in Turkey?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>YouTube Premium costs 49 Turkish Lira (TRY) per month for an annual subscription in the individual plan, which is about $1.53. The family plan is available for TRY 115.99 per month, which is about $3.60.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1023\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rh-itsec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/youtube-premium-cheaper-abroad.png\" alt=\"YouTube Premium Cheaper in Some Countries\" class=\"wp-image-52\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rh-itsec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/youtube-premium-cheaper-abroad.png 1023w, https:\/\/www.rh-itsec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/youtube-premium-cheaper-abroad-300x209.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rh-itsec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/youtube-premium-cheaper-abroad-700x488.png 700w, https:\/\/www.rh-itsec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/youtube-premium-cheaper-abroad-768x535.png 768w, https:\/\/www.rh-itsec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/youtube-premium-cheaper-abroad-800x558.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1023px) 100vw, 1023px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In countries like Turkey, YouTube Premium is much cheaper than in the USA, UK, France, Germany, and so on. By using a VPN, you can take advantage of these lower prices.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does YouTube Premium cost in Ghana?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For an individual license, YouTube Premium costs GHS 23 per month in Ghana, which is approximately $1.56. If you opt for the family plan, which includes multiple users, the price is GHS 43 per month, which is approximately $2.91.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does YouTube Premium cost in Ukraine?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In Ukraine, YouTube Premium offers two different subscription models. For individuals, a monthly subscription costs 99 Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH), about $2.52.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, there is an affordable plan for families. This costs UAH 149 per month, about $3.79. The family plan allows sharing premium benefits with up to five family members living in the same household.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does a VPN work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When establishing a VPN connection, you first log in to an external VPN server with a username and password. This creates an encrypted tunnel between your device and the VPN server. Your data traffic is encrypted through this tunnel and cannot be seen by third parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your actual IP address and location data remain hidden, and you &#8220;borrow&#8221; the identity (IP address, location) of the VPN server. This makes it appear to websites that you are actually browsing from that server. This way, geo-restrictions can be bypassed, and content from other countries can be accessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, because many platforms use region-based pricing, a VPN can sometimes let you sign up at local rates and pay less for the same service, for example streaming subscriptions or even AI tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rh-itsec.com\/blog\/chatgpt-plus-cheaper\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"405\">ChatGPT<\/a>, subject to the provider&#8217;s terms and available payment methods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udca1 Alternative Tip: Instead of using VPN tricks, I now rely on GamsGo \u2193.
